Rodney Brooks è un pioniere della robotica e dice questo: https://rodneybrooks.com/agi-has-been-delayed E in particolare ai soloni che ritengono che l'Europa deve concentrarsi sui temi dell'etica nell'AI, dice questo: So what does that say about predictions that AGI is just around the corner? And what does it say about it being an existential threat to humanity any time soon. We have plenty of existential threats to humanity lining up to bash us in the short term, including climate change, plastics in the oceans, and a demographic inversion. If AGI is a long way off then we can not say anything sensible today about what promises or threats it might provide as we need to completely re-engineer our world long before it shows up, and it when it does show up it will be in a world that we can not yet predict. Purtroppo la gran parte dei finianziamenti europei sembra che andranno a chi vuol fare chiacchiere e non a chi l'AI vuol farla per davvero. Il vecchio adagio: "Chi sa fa, chi non sa insegna" va aggiornato in: "Chi sa fa, chi non sa, filosofeggia per impedire a chi sa di fare". -- Beppe On 18/05/19 08:14, nexa-request@server-nexa.polito.it wrote:

For years, Silicon Valley giants and Detroit automakers alike have sold the public visions of a utopia featuring autonomous vehicles. That reality is still far off, but that hasn’t stopped companies from cashing in on repeated promises that suggest otherwise. [...]
People have less patience for PR campaigns masquerading as engineering timelines. “That’s bullshit,” says Sam Abuelsamid, a research analyst for Navigant, a consulting firm that ranks companies on the viability of their autonomous vehicle plans. “At best, they may be able to create a system that functions under certain limited scenarios. It will not be fully autonomous in 2020 or anytime in the next several years.”
What’s changed? Self-driving cars—and their associated building blocks such as machine learning, computer vision, and LIDAR—continue to improve, but executives other than Musk have been admitting that reports of their impending deployment were greatly exaggerated. [...]
Yet the precise business models these companies will use on driverless cars remain murky. What’s more, this lack of clarity comes partially by design; for now, there’s more money to be made on the idea of driverless cars than on the vehicles themselves. [...]
